I bought the white ones because there were no black ones available. They look nice against my white patio ceiling. They are better than I expected. They provide a lot of light (we don’t have a big patio so they are kind of concentrated). The bulbs feel very fragile. I wish the package came with a few extra bulbs. Also, I wish the lead cord was longer (the cord length between the outlet and the first bulb). They haven’t been tested in the rain yet. Overall, though, very satisfied and would buy again.
